NEVADA, Iowa — The Nevada Police Department is asking for help locating the owner of a newer F-150 4-door pickup truck following a hit-and-run that hospitalized an elderly man Wednesday.
At approximately 11 a.m. the Nevada Public Safety Department responded to an emergency call at the intersection of West 1st Street and West M Avenue in Nevada where a man was found in need of medical attention.
The man had been walking his dog on West 1st Street and had turned onto West M Avenue.
